National Republican., 1887-11-09

THE state OF New York in all probability
has elected the Democratic ticket, the
hopes Of the Democracy and the fate
Grover Cleveland as a candidate for the
presidency in 1888 being in the balance
Superhuman efforts were made by united
Democracy, with the power of federal, state,
and municipal patronage to elect the Demo-
cratic ticket. President Cleveland knew full
well that his political star went up or went
down on the result Of this canvass. In New
York city au immense vote has been poled,
which gives evidence of the importance OF
the contest to the leaders OF the Democracy.
1t is plain that the bitter fight between
Democrats regarding the office OF district
attorney proved detrimental to the Repub-
lican candidate for secretary of state. III
tine future 1t will be well to remember that
Republicans will best succeed when they
stand by the members of their own party
and place them In nomination for all
Offices to be filed The Democratic major
ity will be less than per cent. Of the total
vote. In 1855 the contest between the gov
erning parties will be to secure this l per
cent. on about 1,2O0,00 votes. In Ohio
the returns indicate an increased majority
for Gov. Foraker. His splendid leadership
has marked him as man capable and worthy
to lead the Republican hosts OF the nation.
AS to the other states the telegraphic re-
ports give the news, but these are not sufli-
ciently definite at the hour of writing to
comment upon.
National Republican., 1887-11-09

T1oNAL REPUBLICAN, not one, with the sim
gle exception OF the Memphis Avalanche,
commented unfavorably on what Gen. Jack
son said until after the comments OF the
northern press showed that his language
was political mistake.
Outside OF any question OF politics, Gen.
Jackson deserves the credit due an earnest
man, who has "the courage of his convlc-
tions,n and H., as stated, Gen. jackson is
candidate for the United States Senate his
speech was good political movement, be-
cause 1t expressed the sentiments Of the
people he desires to represent.
Gen. jackson is Democrat, earnest,
outspoken, lifelong; and It may be that he
is not well pleased with the policy OF this
administration. Most Of the men like him
are not. Not all OF them have the courage
to say IT, as most southern men who think
like him have not the courage to express
views that may be dIstasteful to the north.
Senator Thurman's speech was probably
made at late hour Of the Thurman Club
banquet. 1t was made Tor political effect.
1t was coarse, uncalled for, aud 10 bad
taste, and the election being over Senator
Thurman will probably withdraw or apollo
gize for 1t.
National Republican., 1887-11-09
Gen. Henry II. jackson and Senator
Thurman.


Senator Thurman has been replied to by
Gen. Henry Il. jackson. The Senator's
language was more beftting a corner
grocery politician than grave and honored
gentleman, and was only used because the
political e1igencles demanded it. The
Democratic cause was desperate in Ohio.
The outspoken words Of Gen. Jackson were
damaging 1t still more, and 80 the party
called upon it's most respectable and re-
spected member to try and remedy the
evil.
Senator Thurman descended too low
when he denounced man In every respect
his equal as can idiot or mischief-maker,"
'an old crank" or 80 fool" Gen. Henry
Il. jackson is none of these things. He is
not so old as Senator Thurman, and he Is q
gentleman of ability and culture, equal, II
not superior to that Of Senator Thurman,
who seems to be in his dotage, and forgets
what is due to the positions he has held in
the past
But Senator Thurman did more than de-
scend into the mire of personal abuse, fit
only for the pot-house politician. He as
cended into the realms OF romance that
have been held sacred to Mulhatton and
his peers, when ne said Gen. Jackson was
"recalled from his mission to Mexico, some
say because he got too runk there to be of
any use." Perhaps that "charity which
covereth multitude OF sins" ought to in.
duce the belief that Senator Thurman's ad-
yancing age and his well known inhrmity
caused him, in speaking OF being drunk,
to confourd Minister Jackson with Special
Envoy sedgwick. But the positive asser.
tion is made and repeated In language 80
coarse as to raise doubts about the fitness
Uf Senator Thurman to speak upon any
subject at the time.
In marked contrast to the language of
Senator Thurman, evidently used at a very
late hour after the dinner OF the Thurman
Club, is the answer of Gen jackson. That
is In the language Characteristic Of gentle
man.
Gen. Jackson is a gentleman by descent,
education, position, Ind habits. His grand
father was a revolutionary officer and a
member of the second Congress, unseating
"Mad" Anthony Wayne on a contest.
In his personal and official life no word OF
Teproach or calumny can attach to Gen.
Jackson. He is one Of the very best type
OF the class he belonged to in the south
that is, the wealthy and educated class.
The speech at Macon, Ga, which has
created so much comment, was an honest
expression OF an honest gentleman, possi-
bly, little excited by the surroundings.
Gen. jackson spoke his own sentiments and
the sentiments OF the people Of his section.
People who deny this do not know what
they are talking about.
AS proof Of this fact among all the
southern Democratic exchanges Of the Ma

Adjutabt General Drum Makes I'm
portant Suggestions In HIS Report.
The Annual report Of Adjutant General
Drum was yesterday submitted to the Sec-
retary of War. Considerable space is de-
voted to recommendations on improving
the efficiency Of the militia, and more ex-
tensive target practice aud attention to bat
TALON drill and post administration are
urged upon the officers of the National
Guard. Military drill at colleges aud uni
versities was discussed; the average number
Of students attending these institutions was
stated at G,G92, OF whom 6G0 attended ar
tillery drills and 3,2T3 infantry drills. Con-
tinuance OF the inspection of these institu-
tions by army officers is recommended. An
increase in the pay of non-commssioned
officers Is strongly recommended, as the
present remuneration Is insufficient, and the
best men cannot be secured. On the subject
OF discharges In the army the report states
that the presence In the ranks Of nearly
40 per cent of the legal strength OF
the army, with the service ranging from
three to thirty-llve years, indicates clearly
that the great majority Of the men who
desert or seek their discharge is limited to
that class who have less than three years.
service. In order to eliminate from the
army, without injury to the government
men either inapt for military service or rem
dered restless or discontented by tue de
mands or restraints Of soldiers life, the
adjutant general recommends that, except
where long and faithful service constitute
q strong element of favorable consideration,
discharges be made purchasable by the pay
ment OF sum sufficient to reimburse the
government the expense OF recruiting and
transpo tation.
The military prison at Fort Leavenworth
has been satisfactorily administered during
the past year, and the accommodations are
believed to be ample for all purposes.
During the year forty. eight persons were
committed to the government hospital for
the insane by order of the Secretary of
War.

The virginia Methods.

From'a correspondent in Virginia, who
is thoroughly posted as to the situation In

Our correspondent sh ows not only that
the administration worked actively to help
the Democrats of Virginia, but that they
proposed to help themselves in the usual
Democratic way. Mr.. Barbour proved him.

If dozen ordinary men were asked to

chances are that they would give dozen
different answers. Anybody, though, par

can be no doubt Of that. Their publica-
